Kindle DX – The Best Digital Format Reader On The Market

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Continuing his older brother Kindle 2, Amazon has unveiled the latest generation of Kindle Series: Kindle DX. As of January 2010, Kindle DX has already been made available in 100 countries worldwide. Let’s get through the detail about this new gadget.

Kindle DX Basic Feature

Kindle DX is as thin as most magazine with just a third of inch in profile. In advance of its predecessors however, Kindle DX now supports an auto-rotating 9.7? diagonal wide screen, which is by far, the most obvious and best improvement of this latest Kindle. If you’re one of those who need to look over maps, images, tables, and charts, the new auto-rotate screen could be just the thing for you as it allows the user to have a full view of these pages at better angles. Just rotate the device to automatically switch from portrait to landscape mode, and vice versa.

With the Amazon Whispernet technology via Sprint’s 3G network, Kindle DX users can have easy access and downloading of content wirelessly in over 100 countries around the world, such as Australia, Hong Kong, Germany, Japan, Norway, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom (UK), and many others in less than 60 seconds (depends on signal strength and file size). Via its 4G storage capability, this newest Kindle can now store up to 3,500 books so you always have your whole library with you!

Now, Kindle DX reader is equipped with Text-to-Speech feature. It can read books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers out loud to you, unless the book’s rights holder made the feature unavailable. You can speed up or slow down the reading speeds or choose a male or female voice. Continuing its predecessor Kindle 2, Amazon has unveiled the latest generation of Kindle Series: Kindle DX.. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you can listen hands-free.

You’ll never need to bookmark your last place in the book, because Kindle DX remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read. Using the 5-way controller, you can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages for future use. Equipped with the QWERTY keyboard, you can add annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a book. And because it is digital, you can update and export your notes.

The native PDF support of the Amazon Kindle DX wireless reading device is another welcome improvement from the past Kindles. Native PDF support allows you to carry and read all of your personal and professional documents on the go. With combination of Amazon’s Whispernet service, beat the hassle of sending your PDF files to or from Kindle DX and read them anytime, anywhere.

Is There Really A Kindle Killer In Development?

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

At the moment there are an incredible number of manufacturers fighting it out in the emerging, but rapidly growing, e-book reader market. The strong competition is a clear indicator of the high growth level anticipated in this sector. This fierce competition is going to be good news for customers as manufacturers fall over themselves to improve specifications and offer better deals.

The list of major players who have e-book readers in various stages of development – and in some cases, ready for imminent release – is impressive. Asus, iRex, Sony, Plastic Logic, Barnes and Noble – not forgetting Microsoft and Apple – are all queuing up and fighting for their share of the market.

There’s little doubt about the current market leader. The Amazon Kindle reader has not only dominated the market, but has been pivotal in its development since it was launched in November 2007. Now into its second generation with the Kindle 2 and the large display Kindle DX, Amazon has a 60% share of the US e-book reader market. The Kindle reader is now their number one product and, on October 19 this year, after what seemed like a long wait, they started shipping the international Kindle 2 to over 100 countries worldwide. It’s a backhanded compliment to Amazon that every new e-book reader that is announced (and there are plenty, the list above is far from exhaustive) and which shows any promise whatsoever, is immediately dubbed the “Kindle Killer”. At the moment the Kindle is the standard which must first be matched, and then exceeded, in order to assure success.

Just in case anyone thinks that the Kindle’s current leadership position is bordering on unassailable, it’s probably worth remembering that Amazon were a late entrant to the market when the Kindle was launched. The original e-book reader is generally agreed to be the Franklin eBookMan which was launched in 1999 – a decade ago. The Sony PRS also launched before the Kindle’s 2007 release.

The Kindle was such an outstanding success for Amazon because of a number of factors. First of all, Amazon had a strong association with books, being among the largest online retailers. They also offered a huge choice of books to download – at the moment they have in excess of 300,000 titles on their Kindle store. The option of wireless connectivity – with no ongoing fees – was another big selling point.

Just as Amazon came from nowhere to secure the number one position, one of the other contenders could do exactly the same – and in the short term. Barnes and Noble, for example, have over one million titles which will be available for download to their new Nook e-book reader. They will also use the ePub format – which the majority of readers in development seem to be favoring. The Kindle mobi format is proprietary. Purchase a Kindle book – read it on your Kindle.

The Nook will also allow you to “lend” books to your friends and family for a couple of weeks. During this period, the borrower will be able to read it and the lender won’t have access to it on their Nook – just like lending a “proper” book actually. One important difference is that you will be certain to get it back.

The next generation Sony reader – the Sony Daily Edition – will be a large display format, like the Kindle DX, but unlike the DX it will have touch screen control options. It will also let users download e-books from participating public libraries on loan. Again – just like a proper book.

The other readers in development all have a number of individual features that may make them more appealing to users than the Kindle. Amazon have a fight on their hands – and it seems sure that they won’t relinquish their top position without a fight. Given their innovating role in the development of the market thus far, and considering the importance of the Kindle ebook reader to their business, it seems reasonable to expect them to have a few new ideas yet to be unleashed.

Considering the high level of activity amongst all of the key manufacturers, it looks like the e-book reader market is about to start expanding even more rapidly. Hopefully the fierce competition that seems about to unfold will drive prices low enough to take e-book readers out of the geek domain and into the mainstream personal mobile tech market.

How Important Is The Amazon Kindle In Reality?

Monday, July 6th, 2009

The first Amazon kindle ebook reader launched in November 2007. It sold out in under six hours and stayed out of stock until April 2008. It’s probably reasonable to assume that even Amazon themselves were surprised (pleasantly) by the initial huge demand for the device.
 
The updated Amazon kindle 2 went on sale in late February of 2009 and it was widely believed to be a marked improvement on what was an already successful product. Among other improvements it sported an increased battery life, quicker page turns, a text-to-speech facility (it reads books to you) and space for around 1500 books in its internal memory (even if the option to use an external SD card, a feature of the first kindle, was no longer available).
 
Just three short months later, in mid May of 2009, Amazon announced that its kindle DX would be released in the summer of this year. Most of the key features of the Kindle 2 are included in the DX, but it has a larger 9.7″ display, which includes automatic rotation from portrait to landscape mode. For the first time in the kindle range the ability to read native pdf files without the need for conversion is included.
 
The larger size of the kindle DX makes it ideally suited for reading magazines, newspapers and academic textbooks. Several major newspapers announced – long before the DX even went on sale – that they would be offering discounted Kindle prices to anyone taking annual subscriptions.
 
Amazon are keeping their cards pretty close to their chest – but it’s estimated that somewhere between $86 to $96 million of kindle reader sales were generated between November 2007 and August 2008. Don’t forget, that’s just the reader device – the sales of electronic books needs to be considered separately. Business analysts currently estimate that kindle sales (the device only) will reach $ 1.6 billion by 2012.
 
Great business for Amazon – and an important move away from just selling other manufacturer’s products to having their own product to bring to the market. More importantly, whilst not exactly locked in, kindle customers will be heavily motivated to provide Amazon with a level of repeat business that most other vendors can only fantasise about.
